PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- More than a quarter of registered voters across the United States said they already voted or plan to vote before Election Day, Gallup reported Wednesday.

Results for the Gallup-USA Today poll indicated 60 percent of older voters and voters living in the West said they have voted or plan to vote before Tuesday.

The Princeton, N.J., polling agency said self-reported early voting was lower in this midterm so far than it was in 2008, when 32 percent of registered voters in the presidential election said they had voted or still planned to vote early.

No, I haven't voted yet. I will do that on Tuesday - election day. I think unless you are in the military and away on a deployment or something you shouldn't be able to vote early. I think there is too much opportunity for voter fraud by allowing early voting.

This was a poll question on Special Report a couple of days ago. I was surprised to see that just over 50% of those who participated, had already voted. I think it was 49% who said they would vote on November 2.

My question is:

Are political aficionados like us MORE or LESS likely to vote early?

In Oregon we vote by mail. Because this is a dark blue state, I wait until just days before an election to mail my ballot. I feel this decreases the chance of it being altered or tossed by unscrupulous people who might open and read it. I mailed it yesterday.
